I know there is a registry edit that you can make any window or program transparent when inactive.There is also a program that does this neat little feature for you..only in Win2000 does this work.. anyone happen to know the name of the program or a url to a site?

Stardock has a program that does what you want (I think). It's called WindowFX and you can get it at http://www.stardock.com/products/windowfx/

Please note that if you enable alpha bleding in windows 2000, your GDI system will suffer a great performance hit, unless your videocard drivers support the alphablt function which currently, only some matrox g400 do (that means, no TNT/voodo/Geoforce cards)

ThC like the name BTW ;)does your app make the desktop function like a gnome desktop? Just curious I've been using something called eTerm but this only works with cmd prompts and telnet sessions
